Dear Laugh Pact Friends,
I happen to love people who laugh, too. Thanks for being one of them!
You’ll find lots of great videos in this newsletter. Probably my favorite find is a short Laughter Yoga session that includes ASL! And if you haven’t seen my video that combines Laughter Yoga with Tapping (EFT), take it for a spin and let me know if you think I should make more.
Laughter Yoga USA has a 2 fantastic workshops coming up. I’m especially excited for Slash Coleman’s “Redefining Addiction & Recovery Through Laughter Yoga” on April 7th. Laughter Yoga Ontario has 2 online events this weekend: NLP and Laughter Yoga (FREE) and Laughter Yoga Basic Learning Course. And last, but absolutely not least, you can celebrate Foundation Day of Laughter Yoga with the Founders this Saturday (details below)!
Happy Laughterversary, friends! (Say what? “Happy Laughterversary” is a new sing-along song coming out tomorrow!)
Take care & LAUGH ON!
😄 Kara
